Show HN: A photo backup idea – to your own storage, not iCloud/Google

I’m working on a privacy-focused photo backup concept. Instead of syncing to cloud services like iCloud or Google, the idea is to let you back up photos directly to your own: PC or laptop HDD or NAS Private cloud or VPS It will use a secure peer-to-peer approach (similar to Tailscale) so your data stays in your control. I’m still validating the idea — would love feedback! If you're interested, join the waitlist: https://myphoto-vault.netlify.app
